«©NCSX» The theme of two people who are polar opposites swapping positions, identities, and/or bodies is a popular Hollywood plot dynamic. In the movie Trading Places, Eddie Murphy went from street hustler to distinguished gentleman and Dan Akroyd plummeted the other way. Cave is known for their shooting games but maybe the trade in shmups isn't what it used to be. Perhaps that's why the company is branching out and developing a game dubbed Ohimesama Debut where an average schoolgirl switches bodies with a princess from another dimension. By becoming a tiara-wearing royal, the schoolgirl becomes the belle of the ball and interacts with six members of the Prince Charming brigade who are all vying for her hand. Before anything matrimonial happens however, there's dancing to be done. Lots of dancing (waltz, rumba, samba, ballroom, etc) which is performed by tracing the NDS stylus on curved lines known as dance lines. By performing well with your control of the stylus, the princess will pirouette, sway, and swish like a seasoned dancer. The game features a collection of recognizable classical music to accompany the ballroom dramatics. Bonus Schwag
All preorders and new orders will ship with a bonus beaded Princess Tiara (pictured above) that doesn't have any functional utility other than serving as a bonus. Jan Code: 4571297320011 View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website. Region-Free

NCS Game Notes
» At the outset of the game, you may enter your name in Katakana, Hiragana, or English. We named our heroine Milli. We wanted "Millie" but there's only five spaces available for the moniker. Next, choose your astrological sign and the game begins. » Milli begins her adventure in the middle of a city street where she appears a bit disconcerted. A blue-haired friend greets her and the two have a short conversation. In the next scene, Milli's back home and her room is decidedly pink. There's a pink curio cabinet, pink sheet, pink curtains, a pink lamp, and a pink desk. » While Milli's busy minding her own business, the doors to the curio cabinet burst open and a strange rodent (colored pink) floats in mid-air. A spinning mandala may be seen inside the cabinet. The rodent is carrying a wand and wears pink glasses. Shortly thereafter, a Princess in a frilly pink dress appears. She's wearing a tiara that looks exactly like the one that we're giving away as a bonus item. The Princess is also the spitting image of Milli and they could be twins. The decision is made to switch places and Milli is spirited away to the Princess' kingdom. » In the game, the tiara and a good amount of spinning is what makes Milli a Princess. Her everyday clothes also magically transform into a pink dress. » Three save slots are available on the game card. This means that three different players can save their progress to the card. » In the next scene, Milli is in a banquet hall where assorted foods line the lengthy dining table. A procession of suitors introduce themselves. A short dancing intro plays on the top screen where Milli whirls with a guy who sort of looks like a prince. » The first dance where the player gets to control the movement is a short interlude with a rabbit in a top hat and suit. Simply tap the stylus on the purple sphere that appears on the touch screen and follow its movement on the groove (aka dance line) that it rolls upon. » Early dances are simple but gradually increase in difficulty as the game progresses further on. Players who have enjoyed the likes of Osu Tatakae Ouendan will find some of the same stylus rolling action in Ohimesama Debut.
